1998 Lyrics

You run away from me

So you don't have to see

The pain and all the misery

From all the days I've cried

To all the times I've died

You cover all the times you've lied

When I was 8, you left me at the side of the road

Wishing I could turn back the time

When I was 10, my face was shoved into the ground

A kid who just wanted some friends

When I was 12, you took away the only one

I would call my only friend

When I was 13, Death told me

It was too soon to leave

So when I was 14, I felt rage for the first time

As the blade ran through me

It really stung

But I felt a sense of satisfaction

Fuck

All of the things I'll never see

From all the shit that's happened to me

From all the times I've broke

To the words that made me choke

There is no end to my demise

When I was 16, I was pushed away

By the one I thought I trusted

When I was 19, I lost the will to live

From all the thoughts of suicide

So when I was 20, I overdosed on the pills

The pills to help with the pain

I had lived

But I was never the same since

Fuck

All of the things I'll never see

From all the shit that's happened to me

From all the times I've broke

To the words that made me choke

Now do you understand?

So let's slow down

Let's slow down

So why don't we slow down?

Let's slow down

I am a failure

But only in your eyes

You are no savior

So this is where my soul dies

So let's slow down

Let's slow down

So why don't we slow down?

Let's slow down

Now at 22, it seems to me

That I have troubles waking up to be

Living another day is what it seems

To reach the will the live's another dream

Coming from 1998

The broken soul from '98

Coming from 1998

The broken kid from '98
